About Manor Primary School

Manor Primary School in Wirral was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its 2019 and 2023 graded inspections. The school’s overall effectiveness, quality of education, and leadership and management all scored a 3, indicating Requires Improvement. However, the picture is more nuanced: behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision were all rated Good, suggesting that while academic delivery needs work, the school’s environment and pastoral care are stronger. With 60% of its 120 pupils eligible for free school meals, Manor serves a significantly disadvantaged community, and its academic outcomes reflect that challenge. The most telling exam metric is the local authority’s average Key Stage 2 score of 53, against which Manor’s own results would need to be measured — though the school’s individual KS2 data is not provided here, the context suggests it likely falls below that average given the Ofsted rating.
